Alternate Ascended Backpeices FotM vendor
Good question. I also think this needs some clarification.
And 250 T6 ingredient requirement for one piece of gear makes me wish there were tons of bots in GW2. At least prices of mats would be a bit lower. I have been playing GW2 for +300 hours and my TOTAL gold income wasn’t even 75g (and this would be a lot less after necessary expenses). Therefore I really hope there would be some ways to obtain these items with no sick grind for gold or mats. Just by running dungeons. Why so many grindy mats ANet? Why?
Yeah I only have about half the gold for one of those back pieces despite playing for (too) many hours every day since release. Probably because I spend most of my play time either 1) running dungeons or 2) WvWvW. It turns out that I was doing it wrong- I should have been farming Cursed Shore and “playing the TP” exclusively in order to have the funds to craft anything in the My$tic Forge. I didn’t mean for this post to sound negative but it is kind of ridiculous.
There’s been a couple people on reddit/gw2guru who are experimenting with it, so far what we’ve got is the Prototype Fractal Capacitor + Vial of Mist Essence + ? + ?
Highly suspected Gift of Ascension is involved but of course no one has that many tokens yet, people have only barely been able to afford the Capacitor.
Any devs want to shed some light on the matter?
Its 40 crystals + gift of ascension(500 tokens) + dungeon backpiece(1350 tokens) + 1 vial of condensed mists essence

prototype+vial of mist essence + gift of ascend + 40 crystals/240(?)philo stones = prototype ascend type back piece !
Thankyou very much!
I like this.
I mean, I’d like to have a quiver at some point, but it’s nice to know that I won’t need to scratch the funds together to get some agony resistance if it actually becomes a problem.
Should bump this thread more, this is awesome.

Bump what. Just update wiki and that’s it.
This is good news. Confirmation of the before & after stat distribution would be really great, though.
What we need to find now, is the formula for the next tier upgrade, using just dungeon mats, the upgrade with 5 agony resistance built-in
Gift, prototype back, 40 crystals or 240 philo stones, and 1 vial makes an ascended prototype back.
But honestly, by the time you have enough relics for that, you will have gotten enough gold to make one of the other ones twice.

If you can get the dungeon tokens to buy that, you might as well get it and save tons of gold since you don’t really have a better use for those tokens in the first place.
Now if we could just figure out what the Beta Fractal Capacitor is and how to get it: http://www.gw2db.com/items/72464-beta-fractal-capacitor-infused
Any update on this? Do we even need the prototype fractal capacitor to make the beta or normal fractal capacitor?
Heads up, Don’t try transmuting the proto with a quiver. Doing so doesn’t allow any upgrades with Mystic tho is a nice skin.
